Why just loud? Why not fast and loud?
The 3.8..... needs boost, or a v8 swap

Bbk throttle body, k and n air filter, change out the diffrenencial fluid, ngk spark plugs, polyurethane bushings for sway bars, and chaning o2 sensors for Bosch 02 sensors will help. That's all the simple stuff to make it go alittle faster.

Pull out driveshaft and then unbolt shifter and pull out transmission and replace the gasket. It's alittle bit bigger of a job to do that but you need it. I'd go with thrush welded pipes for a v6, or even a 10 series flow master is ok.

I also have a v6 and was looking for loud exhaust. I really like the system I chose. It is a JEGS racing exhaust system with included heartthrob turbo mufflers. The only downside is that you have to buy your own tips but it was an easy system to install, it comes with all hardware needed, and the mufflers are located under the seat so it is plenty loud.
